The mission of the more-than-100-year-old organization is to help unhoused and housing-insecure families, and with Twitter they did so through an annual “Twitter NeighborNest” program. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Families have made over 17,000 visits to the program since 2015, according to Compass, learning technology skills like digital literacy in both English and Spanish. Child care was provided, and parents at risk of losing their housing were also taught how to search for much-needed housing online.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was also a way for the technology workers of Twitter to reach out and interact with their neighbors, some of whom could use their help, said Madeleine Lemos, a spokesperson for Compass Family Services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Every Twitter employee that I've ever talked to after a volunteer event told me how much they loved getting to meet our families, getting to meet our children and getting to take part in that,” she said. “So in addition to just the actual tangible skills and technology access it gave our family, it really was a place of community for everyone.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">On hiatus since the pandemic, \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://www.compass-sf.org/neighbornest\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Twitter NeighborNest\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> was slated to reopen next week. Now, the $175,000 program — not counting Twitter’s in-kind donations of a facility and staff volunteer hours — is in limbo. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Twitter staff who normally communicate with Compass Family Services on the program have apparently been laid off, and no one else has reached out in their place. Lemos said the organization has been grateful to Twitter for its past support.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As of now, we aren't really sure who to have a conversation with about the future of the nest,” Lemos said. “We are really hoping that this program can continue, that it can serve our families as both a space where they can have computer access, workforce development and job training, as well as child care. It's a really wonderful space for our clients and our families to be able to use. And we'd love to see a good future with Twitter in the space.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She added, “As of now, unfortunately, we don't know what that future is.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">At least one other recent event was affected: an annual holiday lunch for veterans held in mid-December, which has served the Tenderloin, Mission and South of Market areas for about 40 years. It’s co-hosted by Del Seymour, the noted executive director of \u003ca href=\"https://www.codetenderloin.org/team\">Code Tenderloin\u003c/a>, in conjunction with Swords to Plowshares.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Twitter was set to pay for catering the event, but now that commitment is in question.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s unfortunate,” Seymour said. “The holiday time is when veterans suffer the most, where all our unhoused people suffer the most. These vets look forward to the event. We do it every year.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Not every organization has seen a direct impact to their bottom line yet.
